That's way too long. There are plenty of alternatives out there, yet fans keep getting played and still stick around…' Another fan commented on the viral post and stated that 'She knows fans are upset; the other members have said stuff, the company's said stuff, and even the staff around her have spoken up, but she deliberately chooses not to communicate. Makes you wonder if she sees fans as complete suckers. LOL.'

She also recommends setting your camera higher at a 45-degree angle – not too much, not too little. Incorporating simple poses could also enhance your selfies. Try doing a finger heart or a peace sign when taking the photo to add pizazz! I-DLE Yuqi (아이들 우기) Yuqi of I-DLE's selfie tips all lie in the poses. A simple one she demonstrated was the 'flower pose' where you rest your chin on the palm of your hand. She also said idols often do the 'cheek heart' pose, where you curve your hand and put it beside your cheek. Another pose she recommends is winking, but having your face close to the camera to add some cuteness. ENHYPEN Sunoo (엔하이픈 선우) ENHYPEN's resident selfie master, Sunoo, has a lot of tips for the best selfies. First, he recommends checking yourself in a mirror to ensure you look good. He also said the lighting is crucial, so make sure not to have shadows in the photos. Lastly, tilt the camera to highlight your best angle and make your face look smaller – and voila! The perfect selfie! I-DLE Miyeon (아이들 미연) I-DLE member Miyeon is so dedicated to taking selfies that she even has a video on the topic.

More specifically, she uses the flash feature. She recommends using the ring flash rather than the regular flash because it gives the photo a more airbrushed finish.
